Purpose: This study was designed to determine if subjective evaluation of quality of distance vision with the Acuvue Bifocal contact lens could be correlated with high- and low-contrast acuity scores.
Methods: LogMAR visual acuities of 20 non-presbyopic subjects were measured using high and low-contrast Bailey-Lovie charts. Each subject wore an Acuvue Bifocal contact lens with add powers +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, and +2.50, each optimized for best distance acuity.
Results: Subjects showed significantly decreased acuities with increasing add; a low-contrast target heightened this effect. Subjects reported a reduction in quality of distance vision, increasing fluctuation, ghosting/shadows, and halos around lights that correlated with increasing add power.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the Acuvue Bifocal contact lens may be expected to perform best for presbyopes with low-to-moderate bifocal add requirement, and that clinicians should anticipate decreased low-contrast acuity and reduced overall quality of vision as add powers are increased.

We evaluated the interaction of multifocal patterns with eye's accommodation. Seven patterns were mapped on the spatial light modulator and the deformable mirror of an adaptive optics visual simulator, and projected onto the subjects' eyes, representing different contact lens designs: NoLens, Bifocal Center Distance (+2.50D), Bifocal Center Near (+2.

Purpose: To characterise the impact of monofocal soft contact lens (SCL) and bifocal SCLs on refractive error, depth of focus (DoF) and orientation of blur in the peripheral visual field.
Methods: Monofocal and two bifocal SCLs, Acuvue Bifocal (AVB, Johnson & Johnson) and Misight Dual Focus (DF, CooperVision) with +2.0 D add power were modelled using a ray tracing program (ZEMAX) based on their power maps.

Purpose: To compare the computed optical performance of prototype lenses designed using deliberate manipulation of higher-order spherical aberrations to extend depth-of-focus (EDOF) with two commercial multifocals.
Methods: Emmetropic, presbyopic, schematic eyes were coupled with prototype EDOF and commercial multifocal lenses (Acuvue Oasys for presbyopia, AOP, Johnson & Johnson & Air Optix Aqua multifocal, AOMF, Alcon). For each test configuration, the through-focus retinal image quality (TFRIQ) values were computed over 21 vergences, ranging from -0.
